kimchee mandoo
january 03, 2006
ugh, i'm so sick. this freakin shitty sinus infection has returned for the 2nd time in 4 months. i used to get sinus infections in the past but nothing like this. the pain in the face, behind the eyes, around the eyes, under the (what little) cheekbone (i have), and in the jaw! lordy lordy lordy. i've never had such sensitivity as this. and let's not forget the tasty post-nasal drip.
drip drip drip. all down into my throat.
bleech.
it's such not a good way to start the new year. but i'm armed with antibiotics and decongestants so this should help me somewhat. people who have never suffered from sinus infections with sinus pain, pressure, headaches etc will never know the extent of this unholy torture.
it seems like everyone is sick. people in my office have bronchitis, flu, colds, sinus infections and everything. i have one of those antibacterial hand cleansers at my desk. people think i'm being anal. but it's better to be 99% germ free when i actually touch my mouth or accidentally rub my eyes.
i've come to the conclusion that even stuff like airborne and things like that don't help. when you're in a surrounding with people coughing, sneezing, sniffling all around you, you're bound to get ill.
and oh great, i have jury duty next week. yippee. :p
..........
my colleague brought me a bag of homemade kimchee mandoo (dumpling) today. we're talking about homemade as in -- homemade kimchee, homemade dumpling wrapper rolled out with korean loving care and handchopped bits of cabbage, chives, vermicelli, meat and kimchee. i brought it home and cooked it in some anchovy broth, seaweed and stuff.
it was tasty. and spicy.
and perhaps gave me the runs tonight in combination with my antibiotics.
but let's not peruse on that shall we?
currently listening to: freestyle, the party's just begun
